    Waking up to a fine morning I decided to go down to London to photograph Waverley's last Thames excursion of the season. I was surprised how fast it actually goes, I only just made it for the shot at the Thames Barrier.
    I suppose using railway terms this would be an 0-2-0!

    Thanks Ralph, these trips are always popular and I think they were all fully booked. I think the fare to Southend was £35, not bad for a full day out to Southend.

    Great pictures thanks for posting - we enjoyed a similar cruise on 30th September, it was also very full.
